Case: Christmas around the world.
My son goes to second grade. The first week of December my son's teacher started a short unit on Christmas around the world. As part of this unit, she asked each child to bring some type of food from a country for a Christmas celebration at school. She assigned the countries to the children and sent notes to children's homes in their communication folders. As a parent I do not have a problem with any of this. Here is what is puzzling to me. I immigrated to the US about 15 years ago from France. My wife is from Romania. My son was born in the US but he has strong French and Romanian cultural roots. I believe his teacher knows about my son's cultural background. However, my son was assigned to bring German food for the Christmas celebration. As a parent, I cannot understand why he was not assigned to bring French or Romanian food. What could be the teacher's reasoning? Should I be upset about this? Wouldn't it be better for my son to represent a part of his heritage in the classroom?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I can see how this cultural assignment may have bothered you, but I also have a feeling the teacher may have had a hard time deciding what country to give your son. This teacher probably has high expectations for your son; meaning she wants to challenge him with this project. She may want your child to use his researching skills to learn about another part of the world. The reason I say she may have had a hard time deciding what to assign, is because this is a rare opportunity for your son to show part of his family's culture. Allowing him to share his diversity would give the class an interesting experience with a student whose parents are actually from France. With that being said, in this case, I would treat this assignment as an exciting time for you and your child to learn about Germany. Working on it toghether will make it more enjoyable and who knows, maybe you will find a recipe that will be a new family favorite! |
